The Queen in Yellow Update

I’ve sent out The Queen in Yellow to some beta readers for feedback.

While I wait patiently for them to get back to me, I’m trying to stay busy.

I’m going through the books I own on the craft of writing that I haven’t read yet. I have quite a few. I’m assessing my horny science fantasy trilogy. It’s massive enough that it’s hard to wrap my brain around it. It might be a bit too big for me to work on while I wait. By the time I find my footing, I’ll probably get The Queen in Yellow back. I’m reading/listening to more books, like The Stranger by Albert Camus and ménage romances. I’m rearranging my workspace. I ordered a standing desk.

Generally, I don’t feel productive enough, but maybe some down time is good for me.

I’m trying to figure out what my next steps will be in my writing career and in general. I’m a little lost. So I thought I should blog about that lostness before I find my way. I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling this way.

When I feel lost, what I’ve found is that some bittersweet music helps me see that “lost” and “hope” aren’t so far apart. More things are possible when the future is unknown.
